Chapter 384 A stroke of genius
Suffocation.
He just felt suffocated, as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly locking his throat. He couldn't breathe and couldn't make a sound. The world was roaring and spinning... falling apart, and all the faces in his field of vision were... The screen is all peeling off.
Where is the father? Silent, he was evading his calls for help, evading his questions, trying to whitewash the peace, but it was clear that he was no longer calm.
Where is the mother? She was so focused on getting him to sign that she didn't even have time to tell him what was going on, and there was no breathing room at all.
So, what should he do?
What else can be done?
"...Write the name of your father or mother. There is no need to worry, but when you return to this room, I want to see the name written on that line."
" Frank, just write down a name and this thing will be over, haha, everything will be fine."
Escape.
He just wanted to escape, far away from here.
As long as he escapes far enough, everything that happens here can be left far behind. Press the pause button, and there will be no way for his father and mother to divorce until he finds a way, just like a superhero. Solve all problems.
He will find a way to save this, he will.
But, but...
What should we do?
Suddenly, he was hit and was at a loss.
I raised my head and looked forward. I couldn't help but froze in place. I forgot to think, move or even breathe. I just stared straight ahead.
Silent, breathless.
However, you can clearly see that the world in those blue eyes is falling apart bit by bit. In ten times slow motion, you can even see the bricks, dust and fragments peeling off. The clear and deep blue reflects every detail of the action.
It turns out that they can really see the destruction of a world, just like the ending of "Fight Club", quietly watching everything happen.
No anger, no fear, no roar, nothing.
There was just silence. Deathly silence.
Then, the surrounding noise and hustle and bustle gradually faded away until they completely disappeared.
The entire set was completely stunned.
Originally, no one cared about this scene. What age is it now? The divorce rate remains high. It has long become an ordinary thing in people's daily lives. There is really no need to make a fuss, no matter it is Husband and wife or children should feel more at ease.
But reality is not like that.
Some people don’t care, some people care. This matter will not become less hurtful just because it becomes more and more common. It is still a huge hole for some people. Just scratch it. I saw the bones, which were difficult to heal.
A family is a world.
At least, for little Frank Abagnale, it was still the case. Those beautiful, happy and magnificent dreams turned into bubbles.
He didn't yell, he didn't cry or even burst into tears.
He was just stunned, as if he could clearly see the light in those blue eyes dimming little by little, and the whole world fell into darkness.
But there is a power that can destroy the world.
He stared at the camera, as if he was watching everyone in front of him -
One or two, involuntarily, just shifted and avoided their eyes.
Just two minutes ago, they were complaining and complaining, and the only thought in their minds was to get off work; but now, they are witnessing a child's world being shattered, and they can't bear to hold on to their hearts.
Just like that, hold your breath.
Then.
He caught his father's voice in the noise and noise. He turned his head and looked around, his eyes searching in the void with focus, "Dad, what's your name?"
He didn't get an answer, at least not from his father.
Christopher avoided his gaze again, even though this time the gaze did not fall on him at all, but he could not face Anson's eyes and lowered his eyes in embarrassment.
The lawyer stepped in and performed his duty, "Mom or your father, write your name there, it's that simple."
"Don't be afraid, this is not an exam, there are no wrong answers." The lawyer raised the question He picked up the ballpoint pen in his hand and placed it in front of little Frank's eyes.
He was slightly startled——
Afraid?
Fear!
It was only then that fear suddenly grabbed hold of the heart and shrank it hard. If it was harder and harder, it would almost crush the heart.
H.
Anson took a breath and held his breath.
The nightmare is back.
There was no tension, no anxiety, no timidity. Instead, his facial features slowly relaxed and he looked particularly calm. Even the trembling in his pupils had disappeared.
It was calm.
Like the scene before a hurricane, an abnormal and extremely calm.
In the pupils, there is only ruins, everything is still, and there is deathly silence.
For a brief moment, the whole world pressed the pause button, time and space stopped, and even the sounds of breathing and heartbeat disappeared.
At this moment——
He.
He breathed again.
It was just one breath, but all the energy was detonated in one breath. There was a roar above the eardrums, and bursts of energy continued to surge.
The explosion happened like this. Even if you don’t have to see it with your own eyes, you can still imagine the scene of the sky falling apart, the mountains roaring, and the tsunami. A wave of sadness and bitterness just grabbed the ankle, held it firmly, and then ——
come down.
Falling freely, falling into the infinite abyss, swallowed by darkness, and seemingly never reaching the bottom.
In an instant, it freezes, and it becomes eternity.
The lens is firmly locked on the face in front of you, a close-up, a focus, the light and shadow carefully capture all the details in that face and eyes, but make the light become light and gentle, in Broken and scattered between the eyebrows.
At this moment, everyone is deeply immersed in that emotion and cannot extricate themselves.
Not only the audience, but also the two senior actors Christopher and Natalie were completely involved in it, as if they were really going through a divorce, and as if they were really destroying Little Frank's world with their own hands.
Christopher tried to make a sound, but found that everything was too weak and too pale. He turned his head away from his eyes in embarrassment.
Natalie's words have come to her lips, "Write me", but she can't speak. The worst part is here, she is not sure whether she wants little Frank to write her name.
Suddenly, Natalie remembered what Anson said to her before the shooting.
“Did you know?”
"In real life, Frank Jr. never saw Frank Sr. again. The last time they met was Frank Sr. avoiding his eyes and refusing to give any answers."
"And Frank Jr. only met Bao once again. La. Paula later remarried and had other children, and they did not keep in touch."
Reality breaks the fourth wall into the film.
Natalie was stunned when she looked at the face in front of her and that look in her eyes——
It turned out that this was indeed the collapse of a world that could never be restored.
One second. Two seconds.
No one spoke and no one dared to break the silence for a moment, for fear that any sound would turn the barely-maintained world in front of them into fragments all over the ground, until there was a roar in their ears.
“Stuck!”
However, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, his heart sank hard and he escaped into darkness.
